Have you ever been looking for something that seems out of reach, and then celebrated once you've reached what you were striving for? Or have you ever experienced a moment of great insight or understanding where suddenly everything makes sense? Those are both examples of what it is to have an "epiphany". Epiphany Mental Health was founded to provide space for you to reflect and explore where you are on life's journey and a partner to help guide you towards your desired destination.
As a second-career therapist who is also EMDR certified, I bring experience working with a wide variety of ages and lived-experiences. As a former Hospice Chaplain, I tend to look at mental health issues through the lens of grief and loss and then use a variety of evidence-based skills to facilitate a person's progress in healing sooner than later.
If you are searching for a therapist who is willing to meet you where you are, and if you are open to one who uses irreverent communication at times while also respecting you and valuing you regardless of who you are, who you love, or how you live, then please consider reaching out. I'd love to connect and talk more.

I typically work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma. Typically we start by creating a road map with one to three goals in mind and then learning/practicing coping skills to help in restoring emotional regulation. From there, each session reviews your goal(s) and determines how to best advance towards it through a variety of evidence-based approaches.

I am EMDR-certified and also have training in a variety of cognitive-based and solutions-focused approaches. When working with me, you can expect to learn coping resources/skills, ways to challenge negative thinking, and how to shift from re-living past trauma/negative experiences to simply remembering them in a safe, supportive environment.
